When a clinician gap puts your schedule, patient access, or practice continuity at risk, get dental-specific staffing support built around depth, readiness, and clear next steps.
Dental is not a generic healthcare vertical. Licensing, credentialing, practice models, workflows, clinician expectations and business pressures all shape what the right match looks like. Barton Associates Dental brings Barton’s locum tenens experience to a dedicated dental staffing brand, combining dental-specific knowledge with the support and accountability to keep you moving.
When a chair sits empty, patients feel it first. A clinician gap can impact access, appointments, practice continuity, and staff momentum, especially in underserved communities.

Different needs call for deeper dental knowledge. The right match depends on more than availability. Specialty, practice environment, workflow, clinician experience, credentialing requirements and practice fit all matter. Barton Associates Dental brings the dental-specific knowledge, clinician depth and operational experience to navigate those details and keep coverage moving.
See new places, experience different practice environments and meet people across the dental community. Locums can give you the chance to make your career part of a bigger life, not the other way around.
Access dental opportunities across specialties, practice settings and locations, matched to what you’re looking for.
Choose assignments that give you the flexibility you want, whether that means working more, working differently or making room for life outside the practice.
Explore new environments, expand your clinical experience and see where your dental career can take you.
From finding the right opportunity through credentialing and beyond, you’ll have a dental-focused team supporting you throughout the locum journey.
From the first request to assignment follow-through, we keep the moving parts coordinated, the right people aligned and the next step clear.
Share the role, specialty, location, timing and what matters most to your practice.
We look beyond availability to find a dentist who fits the clinical need, practice environment and assignment.
We coordinate the licensing and credentialing requirements needed to get your dentist ready.
Your team and the dentist know what to expect before the assignment begins, from responsibilities to schedule.
Clear communication and support continue through the assignment, so you know what’s happening and who owns the next step.
When coverage matters, depth makes the difference. Our dental focus, clinician network and staffing experience give you more context to make the right match and more reach to keep care moving.
A deep dental clinician network gives us more options to respond quickly and focus on the right fit, not simply who is available.

We support academic dental programs, community health centers, correctional facilities, DSOs, FQHCs, group practices, hospital-based dental programs, IHS facilities, pediatric dental clinics, and private practices.
Our depth and reach are backed by the relationships and operational process needed to keep coverage moving.
Our network spans Endodontics, General Dentistry, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Orthodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontics, and Prosthodontics.
Whether you are planning coverage or exploring locum tenens work, find practical resources built around licensing, credentialing, career preparation and dental staffing.
It has been absolutely wonderful working along with Savannah Russell. She is an incredibly good & professional member of the Barton family. She helps me when I need her opinion on any issue I might have regarding the office I am working in. I love being a part of the Barton Family.
What stands out about Barton is how responsive and thorough they are. When I call, they’re on it, quickly sending several well-vetted options I can interview. They take time to understand my needs, the practice, and the patients, tailoring their matches accordingly. That combination of speed, choice, and alignment keeps our coverage seamless.
I had to pick up the process of recruiting locum dentists for our organization and was new to the process. Evan Ray and Matthew Logan have been great at helping guide me through what to expect. I appreciate the service they provide with ensuring all the background logistics are solved for such as lodging, airfare, etc.
Barton Associates Dental is the dedicated dental staffing division of Barton Associates. We connect dental practices and organizations with locum tenens and permanent dentists nationwide, supported by recruiters, account managers and credentialing specialists focused specifically on dental staffing.
Barton Associates Dental places dentists, including general dentists and dental specialists. Our dental staffing team evaluates procedural experience, licensure, practice setting, scheduling needs and workflow to find the right fit for both the dentist and the organization.
Yes. We help private practices, group practices, DSOs and other healthcare organizations find qualified dentists, and we help dentists find locum tenens assignments and permanent opportunities. Practices can request dental coverage, while dentists can search available jobs.
A locum tenens dentist provides temporary coverage at a dental practice or facility for a defined period. An assignment may last a few days, several weeks or several months, helping cover vacations, leaves, vacancies, demand increases or the time needed to recruit a permanent dentist.
Barton Associates Dental also offers permanent dentist placement when a long-term hire is the better solution.
We place locum tenens and permanent dentists across all 50 states. Our clients include private and group practices, DSOs, federally qualified health centers, community health centers, Indian Health Service facilities, hospital-based programs, academic dental centers, correctional facilities and pediatric dental clinics.
Start with one conversation. If you need dental coverage, tell us the role, location, timing and practice environment, and our team will explain what is realistic before you commit. If you are a dentist, search available locum tenens dentist jobs or tell us what you want from your next assignment.
